A screenshot of a tweet stolen from reddit, as is lemmy tradition.
You can’t compel companies to keep a server up. It’s a silly request that was doomed from the start.
But you can make it legal for fans to host their own servers, regardless of the financial success of the game. If “Stop Killing Games” wants to actually achieve something, they should fight for legal protections for fan servers.
Publishers shouldn’t be able to issue Cease & Disists for fan self-hosted communities around games who’s dev’s they’ve shuttered. Hell, push it one step further, fans should be allowed to host their own servers even when the publisher is still maintaining their own.
TF2 is kinda the gold standard here. Why the hell can’t we have community servers for Elden Ring, or League of Legends?
OP has to be trolling by repeating industry propaganda.
And FYI, the stop killing games creators knew this would happen from a leaked article months ago, and instead shifted to work with EU Parliament, where they have majority support.
The EU commission just outed themselves as corrupt corporate cronies for nothing, as Stop Killing Games continues.
